Gillian Anderson playing Eleanor is a dream along with Viola Davis as Michelle. Looking forward to this.
@2legit642 жыл бұрын
I've studied First Ladies since I was a kid and give talks in my community on them. Betty Ford is my favorite. I've read all three of her memoirs and have read the first one four or five times. Years ago, either VH1 or MTV had a program on the most influential women of the 20th Century and she was in the top 5. If I'm not mistaken, she was either Number 1 or 2. She saved many lives when she came forward to discuss her bout with breast cancer, when people spoke in whispers about such things, as well as her addictions. She was a very reluctant First Lady, however, her legacy is vast. The Betty Ford Center is what I think that she would want to be remembered for the most.

Very intrigued by Betty Ford’s storyline, when you think about it she was rather plunged into the White House (via Nixon’s resignation) were the other two knew they were going to arrive there if their husbands were elected. Also it’s interesting when you think about it because in a way her mark on this Country left a greater imprint than that of her husband. I can’t think of another First Lady of whom this is true.
@bmccarthy33332 жыл бұрын
You are right about Betty Ford. Being so open about her breast cancer in a time when it was not talked about got millions of women to get mammograms. Imagine how many lives she saved! This led to women demanding and marching for more research making breast cancer less of a death sentence today. Then she opened up about her drug addiction and helped remove some of the stigma in getting treatment. She was a brave and amazing woman, right up there with Eleanor Roosevelt's work for human rights, women's rights and labor rights.

Some have even alleged that she was effectively the President of the United States during that time.

But when I looked back at Republicans who stood up to McCarthyism the name that comes to mind is not president Eisenhower but Margaret Chase Smith. A project on her life is long overdue, but I digress. I would also take Roosevelt, but I rank Eisenhower above Roosevelt because sadly it appears he did subscribe to eugenics.
